Yeah, weather is usually a factor. They pack the place when it’s a warm, sunny day. They get a lot of walk-up ticket buyers.

I’d like to share a quick anecdote. This was back from the Tressel era. I brought a notepad with me so I could take notes on the game and report on it. But I forgot to bring a pen. So I stopped by some room in the stadium where they had a first aid facility set up, I think it was probably on B deck, and asked if anyone had a pen I could borrow. Some nurse gave me one. After the game, I brought it back and returned it to her and said thanks. I don’t know if she thought she’d ever see it again but I’ve always been proud of that. Because that’s what Buckeyes do. :)

Really like this spring game format over past years. Maybe just cause it’s different but I feel it shows the potential more so. Just my opinion.

Did they actually give the formula for awarding points to the defense? There was no announcement at the game. They did have several PA/scoreboard introductions/interviews of former players in attendance, many were actually during live plays.

and the video tribute was at halftime.

Ohio State honored former star quarterback Dwayne Haskins during its spring game on Saturday, just one week after he was killed after being hit by a dump truck while crossing a highway on foot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Buckeye players had Haskins' initials on their helmets, there was a moment of silence before the game, his initials were painted on the field and an emotional video tribute to Haskins was shown on the video board during halftime at Ohio Stadium.

In addition to Haskins' name being featured prominently throughout the game, starting quarterback C.J. Stroud sported it on the back of his jersey as he took the field.

Here's a look at all of the tributes paid to Haskins by his former school on Saturday.

Vanilla or not, the defense looks… not horrible in the back end. That’s an improvement

as for the front end… I hope our OL looks better against everyone else… hard to say when each is the measuring stick of the other

They finally look like they know how to run a f'ing zone. Last year there would be 3 guys around the ball all standing there flat footed. Now one guy follows the reciever close the the player on the opposite side is triggering to try to take the ball away.

Also that tribute got me too. Day and Fields were tearing up as well
